As for the test day, I concur. I myself am willing to test the German
and French
versions, although there shouldn't be enough difference there to
matter in
terms of breaking stuff.
What we're interested in is not changing the keyboard per se, but
changing the keyboard *layout* selected in the installer and making sure
it works correctly. (This is something that's been broken several times
in the past). It's easiest to test this if you actually have the
appropriate physical keyboard, but you can test without for many
layouts.
